Uniqlo has released a steady stream of viral products over the years, and last spring, the retailer sent shoppers into a frenzy with its windproof blouson. The jacket was very much in keeping with Uniqlo’s track record of creating function-first clothes, designed with consistent wear in mind. Made from a crunchy fabrication in a cropped silhouette, with a stand collar, pockets and a drawstring hemline, the jacket is evocative of similar minimalist styles that have recently been seen on the runways.

Since then, the brand has delivered another windproof blouson – with concealed diagonal pockets and a hood – and other outwear styles that have caught customers’ attention. The utility parka, for example, is designed in the same vein as the viral blouson, but is made from a slightly thicker, water-repellent material and features a unique buttoned closure instead of a zip. Another standout style is the coated blouson, which is like a leather jacket but is crafted from coated, unlined cotton twill.

Why we recommend: A reboot of Uniqlo’s viral jacket from last year, the windproof blouson is a failsafe option for rainy days.

Wear with: Shell pants or the brand’s well-loved tracksuit bottoms.

Why we recommend: This parka is slightly thicker than the windproof blouson, and provides protection from light showers. The built-in hood makes it perfect for days when the forecast is unexpected.

Wear with: Tailored trousers and a lightweight knit beneath.

Why we recommend: For days when you feel like switching out your leather jacket for something a little different, Uniqlo’s coated blouson is cut in a satisfyingly rigid silhouette, with interesting popper details.

Wear with: Straight-leg black jeans and ballet pumps, for an easy, elevated outfit.

Why we recommend: With corduroy accents and a zipped closure, this jacket is Uniqlo’s take on the trending field jacket, which has been interpreted by multiple brands in recent seasons.

Wear with: Mid-rise blue-wash jeans, a belt, a shirt and pointed-toe boots – a simple everyday look for autumn.

Why we recommend: The period between summer and autumn can be tricky to dress for. This short padded jacket will provide warmth without making you overheat.

Wear with: Barrel-leg trousers, a flannel shirt and loafers.

Why we recommend: Puffer season might still feel like a way off, but there’s no harm in getting ahead. A staple when it comes to Uniqlo jackets, this down puffer is a slightly less filled-out take on a classic padded coat.

Wear with: Wool trousers and a quarter-zip.
